National Taiwan University

Taiwan's First University

Located in downtown Taipei, National Taiwan University (NTU) is the first university in Taiwan. Its history can be traced back to the early 20th century, formally known as the Taihoko (Taipei) Imperial University founded by the Japanese in 1928. After World War II and Taiwan’s retrocession to Chinese Sovereignty, the ROC (Taiwan) government resumed the administration of Taihoko University and renamed it as “National Taiwan University” in 1945. Today, the University has a total of 11 colleges, 54 departments, 100 graduate institutes, and 33 research centers, and the number of students reached a total of 32,155.
